the united states is a close ally of the united kingdom.ether across many areas of the united kingdom. we work together across many areas of mutual interest. we have the special relationship between us. i have issued that invitation, invitation for a state visit to president trump to the united kingdom and that invitation stands. theresa may was also clear that that her invitation to donald trump to make a state visit still stands. quite a few people have a different view. this is a petition calling for the invitation to be rescinded. roughly six hours ago 1.3 million had signed it. now we're up to 1.5 million. big number, but doesn't necessarily tell us about public opinion more broadly. the uk's top selling newspaper the sun approves of the what it calls the "cautious approach" being taken. it will help her to secure a us trade deal. we had to secure the position of the uk government in the context of brexit. let's turn to these protests we have seen in london. our correspondent is in london. there were thousands and thousands of people.

the united kingdom is responsible for the united kingdom's policy on refugees. the president himself holds a day of phone calls with other world leaders, including vladimir putin. but there was no move to ease sanctions on russia. tributes are paid to one of britain's most respected actors, sirjohn hurt, who has died at the age of 77. also in the next hour, serena williams grabs the australian open title. she beat big sister venus to win her 23rd grand slam title. and we'll be taking a look at tomorrow's front pages, including the observer. good evening and welcome to bbc news. president trump has said an executive order to halt immigration from seven mainly islamic countries is not a ban on muslims entering the us. he's facing a growing backlash both at home and abroad over the decree, which has also suspended the entire refugee admissions programme for four months. refugees from syria have been banned indefinitely. mr trump says his order is designed to protect america from "radical islamist terrorists", but it's caused confusion and panic among travellers. ne

speaker and can i also ask him to make it clear on the policy that i come them that the united kingdom will always be a place that refugees are welcome and a place where they are made to feel welcome and will he join me in praising and thanking the groups like the enrichment that do great work in this field. >> i can assure my friend and will continue to be an open society. >> it isn't my place to advocate of policy but it is there for 90 days and it will be subject to the scrutiny. the presidents decision to issue this executive order is divisive and dangerous & shockwaves around the muslim world and the communities including here in this country. mr. speaker as a muslim, i find it very some and fearful for us to live in this country in the midst of those like canada and when political leaders failed to show courage and leadership and stand up in the face of a trade then we send the wrong message. can i appeal to the foreign secretary to show courage and leadership and also to take steps to provide protection for the communities that are feeling very worried about their safety across

could the foreign secretary clarify what would be the position for an iraqi national resident in united kingdom whose child is working in the united states and is a dual british and iraqi citizen, in the event that that child died? what her mother be able to travel from london to the united states to bury her daughter under the current u.s. arrangements? and if not, would he agree with me that that would be quite simply inhuman and outrageous? >> of course it is possible to create all sorts of hypothetical situations which are yet more outrageous. but the answer as far as i understand, and you will appreciate it is up to the u.s. to explain the aspects of the policy, the answer is that such a case would be treated very expeditiously and particular arrangements would be put in place to ensure that that person was able to travel to the u.s. >> order. i will do my best to accommodate the extensive interest in the subject but connect gently and tactfully point out that members who come into the gym after the 42nd restatement has begun should not be standing. it is in the find of the conventions of

he was deeply concerned in fact by the incredible loss of power of the united kingdom.ave the fulton speech, we can read the words. he talks about the power of the british commonwealth and empire. there were other things also. things which happened early on in his career. but i think there's one thing which must have gladdened his heart and which uniquely he foresaw, and which gives us, i think, a real degree of hope in the modern world. and that is the world of the english language. churchill was given an honorary degree in 1942, i think it was, and he made a remarkable speech on that occasion. and he said, when this is over, and people begin to move around the world, will it not be a wonderful thing if wherever they go, they can use the english language. and if the english language takes on that global vantage, does it not have real significance for the future cooperation and international structure of the world. how desirable it would be for the reach of the english language. and it is the language we share. bismarck said at the close of the 19th century, the most ge

talk about is the new economic relationship we'll have to have between the united states and the united kingdom. the focus since the u.k. vote to leave the european union is how britain would extricate itself from the e.u. laws and regulations. but leaving the european union means it leaves other relationships particularly with it partners like the united states. there is an opportunity here. for america it gives donald trump an opportunity to show what. >> real trade relationship

trump has also been invited to visit the united kingdom. what more do we knowant this visit for the president of the united states? >> he's excited. the invitation that came from the queen went to both donald trump and his wife melania. they will not be able to fulfill it until later this year. details are not quite clear, but they're still in the planning stages. this is significant to donald trump and to the american people because despite there being at least more than ten u.s. presidents during the queen's reign only about half of them have been invited to the palace to meet with the queen so it's quite well received by donald trump and his supporters. >> live in london at 10:17 in the morning. better hours for you. i know you're in new york where it's much earlier. >>> still ahead here on "cnn newsroom," the president is set to speak with vladimir putin. what this could mean, still ahead. and how allies in europe are reacting to donald trump's first week in office. stay with us. after brushing, listerine® total care strengthens teeth, h

but i'm clear also that there are many issues on which the united kingdom and united states stand alongsidether. many issues on which we agree. i think, asi issues on which we agree. i think, as i said yesterday in mice beach, that we are to moment now when we can build an even stronger special relationship, which will be not of just the united states and united kingdom but in the interests of the wider world as well. could they be friends? the careful leader, who surprised herself ending up in power than she could have imagined, the star of his own reality show, the white house the twist in the plot.|j can tell you, i think we are going to get along very well. i'm a people person, i think you are as well, theresa. i can often tell how i get along with somebody very early and i think we'll have a fantastic relationship. the flash and perform all were side—by—side at the podium, but far from all were side—by—side at the podium, but farfrom being all were side—by—side at the podium, but far from being an awkward encounter the leaders lavished praise on each other, trying hard to appear relaxe

the united kingdom that i am proud to be a part of makes the impossible, possible. we do not fear the unknown. we embrace it. together, we were almost the first stations in the world to abolish slavery. together, our government and introduced laws that deny prejudice a foothold in our world. together we have come so far in this battle. but lest we forget, how long it took to change the heart and mind of our nation. because friends, that is what we're dealing with here. hearts and minds. lest we forget, on this day, of all days, what the price of that freedom, justice, and that equality is. our strength comes from diversity. together, we comprise a thousand cultures, languages and traditions that with each generation have been sewn to the very fabric of our people. that is what makes us the united kingdom. there is no place for racism in today's world. we have to do everything we can to continue the campaign we have begun. however far off or distant that may seem to be. friends, just a change in our everyday actions, i believe it is fundamental that we focus on those

the united kingdom will look after its own interests. we will look after ours. thought theresa may was overselling to the british people both what she could achieve in trade deals with other countries and how much access she would get to the single market. damian grammaticas, bbc news, strasbourg. the prime minister claimed today that she wanted to act in the interests of all parts of the uk and said the devolved administrations should be fully engaged in the process of brexit. but how was that viewed in glasgow, cardiff and belfast? let's start with our scotland editor sarah smith. well nicola sturgeon responded to theresa may's speech today by saying she thinks it has increased the chances that there may be a second referendum on scottish independence. he said the uk was heading for a ha rd he said the uk was heading for a hard brexit that could be cat catastrophic. last year nicola sturgeon presented the prime minister with a paper outlining how she believes scotland could stay in the single market. but they would need the consent of the uk government and nic

they were very insistent on the fact that the special relationship between the united kingdom and united states is a strong as ever. they appear to this -- plenty they appear to disagree on. the soundbite where donald trump just told her he is one hundred percent behind him putting words in his mouth in front of the press here. he believed that nato was obsolete. there is one differing point of view. another one is interesting considering what will be happening tomorrow. we know the president donald trump will be holding a phone call with his russian counterpart. and he says sanctions are possibly lifting. although sanctions imposed on and by the european union. sanctions will remain in place against the current russian regime. clear difference of opinion there. let me just add one more. he still believes torture and waterboarding work. and he repeated that again here at press conference in the white house. he thinks torture works but his defense secretary will be swearing in later today and has a different point of view. theresa may had to come out here to say that she is obviously not

that is a sign of the strength of the special relationship between the united kingdom and the unitedstates. mr speaker, we would never allow written to be sold off on the cheap. how confident is she of getting a good dealfor global how confident is she of getting a good deal for global britain from a president who wants to put america first by american, and build a wall between his country and mexico? article 50 was not about a court judgment against this government. what it signified was the bad judgment of this government, but bad judgment of this government, but bad judgment of this government, but bad judgment of pirate i think or put tax cuts over investment in national health and social care. the bad judgment of threatening european partners whilst offering a blank cheque to president trump. the bad judgment of wanting to turn britain into a judgment of wanting to turn britain intoa bargain judgment of wanting to turn britain into a bargain basement tax havens. so, will she offer some clarity and some certainty that she will not turn us into the bargain basement. we will be out

and it is the united kingdom prime minister, theresa may. and so now they go into their bilateral meetings, so we got our requisite photo off, but we will only get parts of their conversation through them. and so when they hold their bilateral news conference later, questions will be asked, no doubt, and so perhaps we will find out more about what went on in that meeting, what is being talked about right now. we are close on the story and will bring it to you as we learn more. >> meghan: white house chief strategist, steve bannon, making some controversial comments in an interview with "the new york times." he tells the paper, "the media should be embarrassed and humiliated and keep its mouth shut, and just listen for a while." i want you to quote this. the media here is the opposition party, they don't understand this country, they still do not understand why donald trump is the president of the united states. president trump is also calling the media dishonest." watch what he told sean hannity last night. >> these are very hostile people,

now, a lot of people in the united kingdom consider these things to be terrible negatives, but it doeseresa may some sort of basis or springboard. it was palmerston, and who better for this age in which we seem to be turning to i9th—century style jostling nationalisms. he said, britain has no eternal allies and no eternal enemies. only eternal interests. so, if it's in britain's vital interest to cosy up to donald trump, why not? the question is of course whether it's also in the interests of an "america first" president. this is a protectionist president, so any idea that he's going to open up to our market... he's the big player in this. we stand to lose our environmental protections, our food standards, our food assurances, and this will be a trojan horse for trump. britain can of course offer trump something back in some areas. if the donald accuses many nato allies of being freeloaders, that's not so different to long—held a downing street views. instead of planning expensive new headquarters or dreaming of a european army, what europe needs to do now is to spend more on its own d

invitation, formally issued that invitation for a state visit for president trump here to the united kingdomand that invitation stands. in towns and cities across britain tonight, thousands oppose the president's travel ban on refugees and immigrants from some muslim countries. if refugees are sent home, they will literally die. and that donald trump is making life worse for refugees, not better, is unforgivable. in washington, the president claims the ban has not affected many people but some of america's biggest companies have condemned the policy. and some of those firms — including microsoft and amazon — are supporting legal action against the travel ban. we'll have the latest. also tonight... baby chimpanzee whoops. we have a special report on the traffic is selling baby chimpanzees from west africa. the real tragedy of this trade is that to get one infant chimpanzee out of the jungle, all of the adults in its family have to be killed. in cardiff, leaders of the devolved governments of wales, scotland and northern ireland, meeting with theresa may, demand a greater say in the brexit pro

you have heard from people around the united kingdom, a very divided kingdom at the moment, and the governmently its possibility to unite, including consulting people around the uk, evenif consulting people around the uk, even if it is not a legal requirement. i think we have to seek to have real debate about the contents of this bill, and that may well be debates over amendments. if the government thinks a two line bill to give them a blank cheque is going to do the trick, they are mistaken. how will you square that with labour's previous assertion that it will not lock brexit. will people not see what used just said asa people not see what used just said as a possible warning that you might be trying to put a stop to parts of the bill if you don't find acceptable? we are clear, we are democrats, and we accept the outcome of the referendum, that means we are leaving the european union. but we cannot give the government of the day, not even an elected government, unelected by minister, a blank cheque to change the face of our country, there has to be input from everyone , country, there has to

[applause] president trump: great group. these are great groups of people. and if they are not, i will let you know about it. i will let you know if they are not doing the job, ok? i will praise them if they are and i will let you know if they don't. i am so pro

i have issued that invitation, the invitation to president trump to the united kingdom and that protest protests are beginning in london tonight. the foreign secretary says uk passport holders and dual nationals will not be affected by the ban. hello and welcome to 100 days. i'm katty kay in washington and christian fraser's in london. week two of the trump administration — and already there are legal challenges to one of the president's key election pledges — the introduction of a temporary ban on refugees and visa holders from seven majority muslim countries, including iraq and syria. today european governments have been seeking further clarity on who is banned, and who is not. but mr trump makes no apology for the way the ban was implemented, as nick bryant reports from new york. no ban! a policy intended to defend america is seen by protestors as an attack on american values. and the demonstrations against the travel ban brought tens of thousands onto the streets. this was portland, oregon and an angry clash between supporters and opponents of the president. this is such a polarisin

i think their united kingdom cou nterpa rts think their united kingdom counterparts will be able to develop and the contact with the president will be reserved for the prime minister. she is due to see him and quite rightly she will do her best to develop a proper, serious relationship. it will be easier in the case of the right to —— united kingdom because for various reasons trump is will this post to the uk, and he will be short of allies elsewhere. my guess is that it will be a corpulence discussion but none of us actually know and this is all speculation at this stage. we have never had to indulge in this degree of speculation eight days before a breezy is president has taken office. —— a previous president. breezy is president has taken office. -- a previous president. so martin ripped conveyor, the former mp. —— sir malcolm rifkind. and in the next half an hour the outgoing us ambassador to the uk — matthew barzun will be here. we were asking about his thoughts on what is going on in washington and new york. snow and strong winds are expected to cause disruption across much of the uk

the united kingdom is our seventh largest trading partner. we send them more stuff than they send us, which is different from what we see with most other big trading partners. here's what's on the agenda. we'll talk about the future of nato over at the white house today. fighting terrorism, and then also a direct trade agreement. president obama goes to the united kingdom ahead of the brexit vote and says if you leave the european union you'll end up at the back of the queue. the new president feels different about that. he wants the united kingdom to be at the front of the queue. we expect a joint news conference at about 1:00 this afternoon. we'll hear both from those heads of state, the first joint heads of state news conference from president trump. that's looking forward. last night the foreign minister of mexico and the commerce secretary of mexico held a news conference at the embassy after their two days of meetings over at the white house. 7 1/2 hours on wednesday. an hour and a half yesterday. this was at times somber, defiant, sad

one of the major headlines that came outç was with regard to t unit united kingdom.it. howç is that being perceived there? >> tomorrow she's got the much rexit and what happens over the prelegation of hill leaving made it pretty clear the britains weren't going to be ableç to return the position in the market lead the pit cal. the wide or plid cal yup i don't knows how the image will help iç seems likely that the european government will agree to that. we're expecting her tomorrow to move towards and leaveç the european union but also the market and also we negotiate in a way back to good deals.zv in order to do that not much concentration. it should not realize -- >> is there a license around the when i need it. >> it's all trump coming in and saying, britain would get a trade deal pretty quickly after we met in washington, that's positive news to her and plays into the debate here and plays intozv european paul twins. it's a president selection, what was the first lean of obama.zv prebreakfasting, that's united kingdom will be at the back of the queue, a change

the alliance between the united kingdom and the united states has been a far greater guarantor of humanhe last 100 years. imagine a world without it. we think of these universal values of free speech, equality forwomen, democracy, there would have been nothing universal about them if the second world war ended differently, or the cold war ended differently. we should remember the value of that alliance and what it has done, not just for us, but the other countries. but the alliance that was already extant? i just wanted to direct your view towards continental europe. the candidate for the french presidency said that britain lives in equilibrium with europe, but now it is becoming the junior partner of the united states? on from being a big player... the absurdity of that is that the european union is that political integration. it is about turning countries into something bigger, a political union. no country in the world is more jealous of its sovereignty than the united states. the idea that this could be anything other than an alliance of democracies, and i have one that goes wider,
